Go Banana...run!

Lets meet at 6.30 tomorrow. I would like to remind you about few things,

Since we start really early, it is possible for us ignore having some food before and after our running sessions.

Why Banans are Good for Runners: A good source of carbs, bananas also contain potassium, which runners lose through sweating and help regulate muscle contraction and prevent cramping. Bananas are also considered a "safe" pre-run food because they're unlikely to cause gastrointestinal issues. (source:running.about.com)

I generally have a cup of coffee with 4-5 Parle-G biscuits - needless to say Bananas are my favorites too.

Have plenty of water the day before, most of you know the need for adequate hyderation. Real summer days are ahead and I really don't want anyone collapsing down in the middle. Do not forget to bring a bottle of water. I generally do not recommend you to add Glucose in it.

Food is ultimately important and make sure you regulate your pre and post run eating and drinking (water!!!! :)) habits.

Electrols are needed only when you are running long distances to replenish the body salts.

Enjoy the rest of Friday and I would like to see a FULL ATTENDANCE tomorrow. I strongly suggest parents who are worried about their children whose exams have already begun. Please send them without fail since a very fun filled, nice workout and a run will keep their energy and spirits really high. They will surely stay motivated for the entire day and the session on Sunday will recharge them again :)
